order. We attain these objects by the invention shown in the accompanying drawings,

in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts throughout theseveral figures.

Figure 1 is a top view. Fig.2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is abottom view, Fig. 4 is a vertical section. Fig. 5 is a rear end'view. Fig. 6 is a front end view.

The device is intended to beused in a water tank or trough and consists of the valvenipple A with 'an opening therethrough I that is threaded "within at one'end, to receive a water pipe that is inserted through the side of the water tanker trough.v The central part of theother end ofthevalve nipple A is cutou t at an angle of about 60, the remaining part, not cutoff, extending as jaws far enough to become the bearings for a lever cut-off B oneend of which is cut or formed at the reverse angletothat on the end of the valve nipple A, and the other end made to receive one end of the float O. Through the angled end of the lever cut-off B and at right angles thereto, is inserted the journal pin D made to o erate in the bearing jaws of the valve nipp e A. On the top of the valve ni ple A is fastened by a screw (1 the va ve. E, made of any suitable material. When the tank is empty the float and the rear end of the cut-01f lever B, drop down, and being pivoted at the journal pin D, the front end raises and releases the valve E and allows the water to enter the tank. When the water raises the float on a level with the valve nipple A, the angled end of the lever cut-off B closes the opening in the rear end of the valve nipple A.

Having thus described our invention we desire to secure by Letters Patent:

The combination of a valve nipple, with an J opening therethrough and over one end of which is fitted a flexible valve, the central part of the same being cut away at an angle near 60, the remaining parts of the end not so cutaway being'provided with an opening transversely therethrough, within which opening is pivoted one end of a lever out at an angle 0 posing the angle at the end of the valve nipp e the other end of the lever being provided with a float.
